Integrity Marketing Group, one of the leading independent distributors of life, health and wealth products, announced it has acquired Northwest Farmer-Stockman, an insurance distributor and financial services provider, based in Spokane, Washington, an entity of Cowles Company, a publishing, real estate, insurance and financial services conglomerate. Following the acquisition, Farmer-Stockman will become a division of Integrity partner American Independent Marketing (“AIM”), an independent marketing organization (“IMO”) providing health and life insurance products to the senior market.

“Farmer-Stockman combines an amazing legacy of service to the farming and ranching community in the Northwest and Midwestern part of the United States,” expressed Bryan W. Adams, Co-Founder and CEO of Integrity. “As part of Integrity, Farmer-Stockman now has access to our full array of proprietary offerings — from industry-leading technology and product development to association with other trailblazers in our partner network. These resources will ensure that Farmer-Stockman and its agents can provide the right products as clients’ needs evolve. Integrity is committed to making it easier for more Americans to protect their health and wealth, and Farmer-Stockman will be an invaluable part of helping us achieve that goal.”
With a presence established nearly a century ago in rural Washington, Farmer-Stockman has created deep relationships with ranching and agricultural families across the American West. Farmer-Stockman consults with clients to help them preserve the assets they’ve cultivated for a lifetime.
“This partnership opens up an entirely new era for Farmer-Stockman,” said Michelle Musgrave, Manager of Northwest Farmer-Stockman. “We bring well-informed advisors who understand the strengths and challenges of rural American families. Now, we can reach more of those families with greater resources to plan for their unique concerns and preserve their life’s work. By integrating with AIM and becoming part of Integrity, we can maintain the family atmosphere and loyalty to our team that has been so important to us over the years. The future has never been more exciting for Farmer-Stockman.”
